Dear Cardinal Families,
On behalf of the entire staff at Cunningham Park, I want to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible Teacher Appreciation Week you organized. We know the planning, preparation, and effort that goes into making a week like this so special, and we are incredibly touched by your dedication. Knowing that parents went to such lengths to make us feel valued and supported was incredibly heartwarming. It's a powerful reminder of the strong partnership we have with our school community, and the positive impact it has on our students' learning environment.
Thank you again for making Teacher Appreciation Week so memorable. Your generosity and thoughtfulness will fuel our passion for educating our students for weeks to come!
Warmly,
Allison Hoak, Principal
Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal
